When I was very young he would take me to the globe movie house in the Bronx somewhere.
Pelham Parkway, just off White Plains Road. About fifty feet from the the L. Right?
The Globe eventually became a porno theater. It's been empty for years, though. There's a TD Bank right next door that I use sometimes. And right across the way was Hooper's, which had the best hamburger in the Bronx for years. But that's gone now, too.
Do you know who grew up right there? Carl Capotorto. He played Little Paulie on "The Sopranos." He's a nice guy and he's openly gay, which, believe me, had to be tough growing up in that neighborhood. It was all very old school Italians when we were kids. Today it's mixed Albanian and Latino, with some leftover Italians
